Belton, Texas, United States (2000 – present)
Flyleaf is an American rock band, formed in Belton, Texas, United States in 2000. They originated as a band called Listen, and then changed name to Passerby, but due to an existing band owning the rights to that name, their name was changed to Flyleaf after they were signed to their record label. “A flyleaf is the blank page at the front of a book,” explains Lacey Mosley, Flyleaf’s vocalist. “It’s the dedication page, the place you write a message to someone you’re giving a book to. And, that’s kind of what our songs are — personal messages that provide a few moments of clarity before the story begins”.
Their music is a mix of hard rock styles. The band cites influences such as Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Incubus, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana.
Early on, vocalist Lacey Mosley began playing music with drummer James Culpepper. Later on guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya were recruited. “Sameer and Jared are really experimental with melodies and pedals, and we all had different influences that were all blending together with the same passionate and hopeful heart, and that brought out this beautiful feeling. It was magical,” said Mosley. When they were still playing as Listen, they played with bassists Josh C. and Jonathan B.. The bassist was replaced by Kirkpatrick Seals in 2002 after he left his previous band The Grove. Somewhere around there they changed the band name to Passerby, before changing the name again to the current Flyleaf in 2004.

I simply find it wrong that this band is christian while the vocalist used to be a drug addict. xD I don't really count them as christian anyways, so.

My only complaint about Flyleaf is Lacey's occasional breathy vocals. That gasp (whatever it is) at the end of nearly every sentence she sings is what I mean...

Really disappointed at the new album. :/ Hates how Lacey's voice sounds, I was almost shocked at the first thing she sang - it didn't sound like her. And the songs are kinda.. bland. Sad but true.
